hi IOhannes. thanx a lot!:)
a wincompiler (fx lcc-win32) to make a .dll from a C-file to compile it with PD (like i did with Gem) or does PD compile writteninC-files by it self?
hi. as you might have noticed from the Gem-installation troubles, pd alone is *not* enough to run an external (this is what an "abstraction" is: something, pd can understand by itself without the need of an external program (or external))
so you definitely need a compiler (doesn't have to be a "wincompiler"; i for myself prefer a "lincompiler") and i *think* that almost any C-compiler (if you are going to write in C) will suffice.
this is the missing part of the externals-HOWTO: how to actually compile the external.
